//! A Vivaldi [`NetworkCoordinate`]
//!
//! This is an implementation of Vivaldi NCs per the original paper. It implements the following
//! alogirthm (quoting from paper):
//!
//! ```text
//! // Incorporate new information: node j has been
//! // measured to be rtt ms away, has coordinates x j,
//! // and an error estimate of e j .
//! //
//! // Our own coordinates and error estimate are xi and ei.
//! //
//! // The constants ce and cc are tuning parameters.
//!
//! vivaldi(rtt, xj, ej)
//!     // Sample weight balances local and remote error. (1)
//!     w = ei /(ei + ej)
//!     // Compute relative error of this sample. (2)
//!     es = ∣∣∣‖xi − xj‖ − rtt∣∣∣/rtt
//!     // Update weighted moving average of local error. (3)
//!     ei = es × ce × w + ei × (1 − ce × w)
//!     // Update local coordinates. (4)
//!     δ = cc × w
//!     xi = xi + δ × (rtt − ‖xi − xj ‖) × u(xi − xj)
//! ```
